Employment Records / Letter of Reference and Explanation Letter

[mpitillo]

Hey all,

My partner and I just got our personalized checklist, and we both have worked for companies where we have held multiple positions. Because of this, our current checklist includes multiple "Employment Records (required)" attachment options for these positions.

My question is: because I have already obtained these reference letters from my employers, and they are all listing all positions in the same letter (of course, detailing the different dates, compensation etc), can I just upload the same letter multiple times, or do I need to ask all over again from my employers to create separate letters for each of the positions, even though it took place in the same company?

Finally, in regards to an Explanation Letter. I've heard that it would be possible to add one to my application. But when I visualize the list of documents that I can attach, I can't find one for the explanation letter. Am I missing something?

Thanks a lot for your time,
-Matheus

1. It is ok to upload the same letters PDF onto multiple employment placeholders if the letter contains details about all positions you are holding it for.

2. Regarding explanation letter, this is a know issue many of us have faced. Just navigate out of your documents section and go back in the or log out and log in. You would see the loe section. As soon as you see it, upload something there.. anything.. make sure you change it before submission final time. But once you have included something there, it won't disappear in you.

Oh wow, I would never have guessed about this process for the LOE. Thanks for the tip.

Also, I feel more relaxed now that someone else other than me have said that we can upload the same Letter of Reference for different attachment slots.

Thanks again!

Might be a good idea to include a line in loe as to why you've included same PDF for diff job options ... I did the same

Ok. I will do the same then. Thanks again.

Just out of curiosity: did you get your PR already? How long did it took post submission of your documents?
